Chapter 40 Trying to Persuade
Nohir was a little confused. Why did Ska come to him so late?
But although he was confused, he got up and opened the door.
This tall, extraordinary-looking paladin is still wearing the heavy plate armor. Even at this time, he has not taken it off, and the mud he got from his escape a few days ago is still stained. In terms of clothes, it was obvious that Scar had not groomed his appearance.
He looked at Nohir, as if he wanted to say something, but he only opened his mouth slightly, as if he didn't know how to say it, so he could only stand there blankly.
"...You come in first."
Nohir saw his embarrassment. Although he didn't understand why, the paladin would never come to your door for no reason. If they wanted to discuss something with you, something, then that thing must be very important.
After Scar walked into the room, Nohir closed the door.
"It's so late, why haven't you rested yet? What happened?"
Nohir asked as he returned to the stone bed and sat down, pointing to the bed next to him. Chair, motioning for Scar to sit down as well.
However, Ska did not sit down. He hesitated for a while and then spoke directly to Nohir.
"I..., Nohir, I'm here to say goodbye to you."
?
"Farewell? Now? Are you kidding me? Do you know how dangerous the forest is at night? Are you leaving now without even having a weapon?"
"And here? What will happen to the people? They still need you to guide them. What will they do if you leave? Where do you want to go alone?”
These words left Ska speechless. He himself naturally knew how irrational this approach was, but there was nothing he could do about it.
“Because of my oath, I have vowed to take revenge on those evil spirits, let them taste my anger, and let all the evil spirits I have seen in this life be buried with Eltoril.”
< br>"Nohir, I am really grateful that you can save them, but now I can't stop, I don't even dare to rest, because this kind of depraved thought will breed my weakness and corrode my will, Let my sword rust and my shield corrode."
"I must act because of the vow of vengeance I swore on the ruins of the city, and because of the perseverance of all Eltorians. I vowed to be with the city, but now I am in a comfortable camp, silently enduring the pain in my heart."
"I can no longer serve here, but I have nothing. If I don’t do it anymore, the guilt in my heart is like an abyss swallowing my soul, which makes me restless.”
'I see. ’
Paladin.
This profession can be said to be the most arduous, difficult, and stubborn profession in the land of Faerûn.
To successfully become a paladin requires more than just hard training since childhood. You must also make a certain oath to stick to it from birth to death and never abandon it. Only with such an awareness can you become a paladin. A qualified paladin, their power comes from this.
And now his vow of revenge and perseverance are urging him to take action. Even if this action is blind, it is better than doing nothing.
At least that's what Scar thinks.
"So where do you plan to go? And in what form do you plan to carry out your revenge."
"...I don't know, but I have heard from Harsin The legendary heroes in Baldur's Gate are already preparing to rescue Eltoril. Maybe I will follow them and charge with them when they set off to hell."
"And in. Before that, I have to return to the ruins of the city to protect the safety of the people while killing the invading evil spirits."
Then Harsin must not have told you that almost all of those evil spirits should have been withdrawn by now. Hell joins the bloody battle.
There is no big danger on the way to escape now. The devil has almost disappeared without a trace. Even if you go back, your trip will be in vain.
Hey, even Harsin probably didn’t expect Scar to be so stubborn, but the paladins are all stubborn. If he doesn’t persuade him, he will really not look back until he hits the wall. of.
Wait a minute, my biggest purpose in going to Baldur's Gate this time is to kill the mastermind who caused this incident. At this point, Scar and I have the same purpose. Maybe I can convince him to help me with this matter. Scar is over 30 years old, and his professional level is certainly not low. He is also a paladin, and he can trust me to hand over his back to me. He can be said to be the best partner.
Other druids will not leave the verdant woodlands. The greatest help they can do is to provide the wandering refugees with a place to rest, as well as some food and Medical.
As a great druid, Halsin would never abandon the woodland and go on an adventure with Nohir. What's more, the Harpers were coming soon, and he would definitely be here to greet them.
As a result, the only helper he can find now is actually Ska in front of him.
But how can I convince him?
......
"Then I bid farewell, Nohir, I'm really sorry. If I can still survive after this incident is over, I will definitely try my best to compensate you for your kindness. ”
After saying this, Scar bowed to Nohir and turned to leave. At this time, after a brief thought, Nohir also spoke.
"Ska, have you ever thought about why the city suddenly fell?"
Nohir suddenly asked this question to Ska, and this topic was not surprising. Scar, who was about to turn around and leave, stopped.
"Isn't it those damn devils? Isn't it their damn conspiracy!"
"No."
Nohill interrupted his speech, which was blinded by anger, and continued to explain to him in detail.
“Even a conspiracy takes time to develop, and even the devil cannot plan such a huge conspiracy in such a short period of time.”
“Conquer an entire city. Dragging it into hell requires long-term planning, and the city fell so quickly that people had no time to react, which shows that this conspiracy is far-reaching."
< br>"Ska, you may not know much about devils, but what the devils do must be restricted by contract. If there is no explicit stipulation on the ownership of an entire city, and if a traitor with a high enough status is at work, the devils are absolutely It can’t be taken away.”
“And it’s up to Eltori to decide...”
Scar's eyes suddenly opened. He originally just wanted to say sorry to Nohill and say goodbye before leaving, but he never expected that Nohill would dare to say such words!
"Shut up! Do you know what you are talking about? Do you know how serious an accusation this is!"
"Do you want to accuse the city lord! The highest quality observer! Accuse the entire The King of Ertugard!"
He turned around, the melancholy on his face was replaced by anger, and he directly used his extraordinary ability to scold to stop Nohir from continuing to speak. raving.
He heard the underlying words of Nohir. He wanted to insult the Supreme Observer, but what did it mean to insult the Supreme Observer?
It means that Nohir is insulting the founder of this city and this country!
Insult all the Knights of Hell and the monarch to whom the Knights are loyal!
Insult to the oath he upheld and the oaths of all Hell Knights!
It is even more insulting to all the subjects of Eltoril! If this is true, then all of Eltoril's past glory will be just a joke!
Nohill’s words are denying everything!
It was impossible for him to accept such an accusation, and the only reason why he didn't take action now was that Nohir had saved his life and the lives of many people. That's why he didn't smash his fist into the air the moment he heard these words. In Nohir's face!
“…You may not believe it, but I believe you have understood what I am about to say.”
“Whether the mastermind behind the scenes is him or not, there is a mastermind behind the scenes. That's for sure, and Baldur's Gate is the nearest big city to Eltoril. If that person doesn't fall into hell with the city, he will definitely go to Baldur's Gate."
"If you want to prove that what I said is wrong, then go back to your room now and have a good night's rest, let your head that has been roasted by anger take a good cooling off, and you can follow me to the blog tomorrow morning. The Gate of Virtue."
"At that time, all the answers will come to light."
